Another American Media Giant Folds to Trump Power: CBS Settles Over 60 Min. Harris Interview 7/2/25

The Mark Thompson Show

Paramount, which owns CBS, will pay 16-million dollars to settle a lawsuit brought by Trump over the editing done to a 60 minutes interview with his then rival Kamala Harris. The interview aired on CBS’ 60 Minutes before the 2024 election. CBS was not doing anything differently than usual, and they were not changing the tone and meaning of the interview. However, in this era of Trump threats, fear, and pressure, Paramount caved. The money will go toward Trump’s presidential library and though na admission of wrongdoing will be offered, CBS will be required to publish transcripts of every presidential interview ftt to I’m now on. So why put the freedom of the press at risk with this outrageous settlement? Paramount is working to merge with Skydance Media, a deal that needs approval from the Trump administration. Presidential historian and political analyst John Rothmann joins the show to talk politics. Former federal prosecutor and now defense attorney David Katz will be in to discuss legal matters.
